I was thinking missy eyelashes was faking fainting. She had hidden the smoking gun she used to kill chinese shirt dude and was picking up his when our heros burst into her apartment and took dead guy's cold weapon. While our cop buddies were chasing unknown gun-woman Dick on the rooftop, missy beauty contest whacked miss betty with the same gun that caused shirt guy's end. Other gunner could be mrs dick, but I'm going with chinese drug cartel that ran their ops from the take away joint.

Ledbetter didn't like stairs, but he loved beautiful women enough that the sprint back to the lobby and up eight flights of stairs seemed like taking his dog for a quick stroll on a sunshiny day.  He barged into 806 with only the safety of their mystery chick on his mind.  She was still out cold.  He checked her pulse to be certain and let out a breath when he felt the slight pressure of a thumping pulse against the skin of his index finger.
He straightened.  Just to be thorough, he decided to check on Miss Kitty Betty in 809.
Christmas got much worse then.  And Christmas or not, he cursed.  Vividly.
The old lady was sprawled dead-cold, her needlepoint pillows a crimson blotted mess.  The absence of a pulse confirmed his suspicion.
He shook his head.  Between Wilson, who was with one of the shooters, and himself with another shooter on the 8th floor, they needed backup.  And lots of it.  He wasn't going to run up and down fucking stairs all night while the body count piled up.
But first ...
As anger heated the blood rushing through his veins and raised his heart beat another notch or two closer to a heart attack, he edged silently from Miss Betty's apartment, his knuckles white where he gripped his gun.  Sleeping Beauty was still out cold when he passed her open door.  Slowly, carefully, he turned the knob just below the set of golden letters that indicated he was back at apartment 810. 
A proper look wouldn't be a waste of time.

A 9yr old can do better than this ...

Nah, took me maybe 3 minutes if that much. The ctrl key is your friend as is alt-tab!

I've also had a similar problem where I could work fine on my iPhone but not my desktop. It turned out to be an issue with chrome on my desktop. If you have IE, double check as that confirmed it had been a chrome issue. Only solution I had after playing with my chrome settings was to uninstall and re-install chrome again and it was sorted. I still love chrome though!

My work around is to not select the whole word, but only the "middle" part. It then highlights the complete word automatically and works in general but obviously will still be a problem for 1-letter and 2-letter words. I use windows and google chrome.

Dirk,

You might have tried this already, but if not, it could be the problem.

If you go to your "review" page, select the "in-line posted" tab, see if it isn't there as a draft.  If it is, then "view" it again and make sure you select the "Submit In-Line Review".

This is one of the changes that Sol and the team made to in-line reviews - you can save it as a draft to work on it over time or you can submit it immediately.  If you don't see it at all, then it's a Sol problem! 

Cheers Janet

Hi Temple

Ten chapters in less than 2 months is a good indication that your writing is clicking at a good pace and 35 reviews are pretty decent too, in all seriousness, even though I don't really keep score as I'm of the opinion everyone is doing their best, and that is good enough for me.  And absolutely, we can only try our best to give good reviews and can only hope it's helpful.  A pretty daunting task for anyone like me that view themselves as aspiring writers.  Especially when you review the work of a published author!

Well, sorry to say, but I think you're mistaken with regards to me not having posted anything for the last 4 months.  I think it's probably been longer than that!  Do you think I should contribute/participate less in the forums and instead write?  Well, to be honest, I don't really think I spend too much time in the forums though, but then again, every bit helps.  So you have given me something to think about.

Do you know what?  I think I just found some common ground with you and understand where you are coming from.  There are two things I really don't like.  Motherly hens and people that kick puppies.  When I come across them, I get so mad it feels like someone had put a cracker where Max puts corn, and had lit the fuse.  Sometimes people leave comments and then they end it with "Puh-lease, get over it and move on people, nothing to see here."  This is after they repeated about half of the opinions, but just in different words!  As if they own the thread, pft!  I even had someone that left a comment when I said something in good will to the effect that they "slapped me on my hand or wrist" because my comment deserved it.  Honestly, those were their exact words!  Now, tell me if I'm mistaken here, but that is as motherly as it get, isn't it?! 

I like your style more.  Setting someone on the right path is way over there with advice your big brother or big sister would be dishing out.  So not something a mother hen would do!  But then again, big brothers and sisters can sometimes be really bossy!  Not saying you are, of course, since we're on the same side.

I haven't met any misogynists on the site though, but then again, maybe I should frequent the forums more.   But in any case, I think we're back on topic in this thread, so at least that problem is fixed.

Kind regards
Janet
